What is a VA cash-out refinance?

Like any refinance, a VA cash-out refinance loan is a new home loan. However, what makes it special is that it allows you to take cash out from your home's equity. This money can then be used for any number of purposes, including debt consolidation, vacation funds, college tuition, and anything else you can dream of.

When should I get one?

For starters, you can only get a VA cash-out loan if you have equity built up in your home. It usually takes a number of years to build equity, though it may depend on how the housing market is in your neighborhood. If house prices are rising significantly in your area, you may be building equity faster.

Other indications that a cash-out refinance is a good idea for your situation include:

You want to get into a VA loan from another loan type

You have a plan for how you want to use the money

You want to take advantage of lower interest rates

The Process

How do I get a VA cash-out refinance?

Essentially, the process to get a VA cash-out loan is the same as the process to get a VA purchase loan. So, if you don't already have a VA loan, you'll first need to meet the VA's eligibility requirements.

Once your eligibility is established, you'll have to verify your employment and income with your W2 forms for the last two years, two months of pay stubs, your two year job history, and more. You'll also need to provide a full accounting of your assets and liabilities and have your home appraised by a VA appraiser. This process typically takes at least 30 days or longer.
